I let you down. I tried to be worthy of our family name. I’m not my siblings and I’m not you or Dad. I don’t have a 160+ IQ, a near-perfect memory, or a lucrative job. I don’t even own a car.

I’m sorry. I always wanted to be like you. I wanted to make you proud of me. I wanted you to brag about me, for once. Not say “my daughter tries” or some generic statement about my looks.

After this failure… Will you still consider me to be your daughter? Maybe a tribute to probability, as I managed to get all the bad alleles?
